&PROD; is designed to use a three-button mouse. If you have a two-button
|
|
mouse, you should have selected three-button emulation during the
|
|
installation process. If you're using three-button emulation, pressing
|
|
both mouse buttons at the same time equates to pressing the missing
|
|
third (middle) button.

In this document, if you are instructed to click with the mouse on
|
|
something, that means click the left mouse button. If you need to use
|
|
the middle or right mouse button, that will be explicitly stated.

(This will be reversed if you've configured your mouse to be used by a
|
|
left handed person.)

The phrase "drag and drop" may be familiar to you. If you're instructed
|
|
to drag and drop an item on your GUI desktop, click on something and
|
|
hold the mouse button down. While continuing to hold down the mouse
|
|
button, drag the item by moving the mouse to a new location. When
|
|
you've reached the desired location, release the mouse button to drop
|
|
the item.
